| Acoustic Treatment on rear wall If there is room behind the couch, more books or records on shelves might do the trick. | |
| New Music? That was my first impression, Audiofeil. A few more listens changed my mind. | |
| New Music? The Gillian Welch album is superb! If you like it, the most recent Lucinda Williams "Blessed," Steve Earle "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive," and The Decemberists "The King Is Dead" are also excellent. | |
| VPI Tonearm connector wire and record tracking The manual for the 9" VPI tonearm states:"VPI has a unique solution to anti-skating: the coiled wire of the JMW Memorial Tonearm acts as a spring and pushes the arm back without affecting the sound quality. You now have the option of installing a ... | |
| Internet Radio Questions..... I think the best bet would be a Logitech Squeezebox Touch. You can access almost any station worldwide through your system, as well as any internet-only station.For quality of sound and great straight ahead jazz, I strongly recommend non-commercia... | |
| Diagnose the weak link. The NAD is definitely the weak link, IMHO. There's a VTL 2.5 line stage on e-bay right now that ends tomorrow (Friday) at 7:00 EST that I think would suit you. I once ran the Thiel 3.6's with a Levinson 27 amp and the VTL 2.5 pre and the Thiels sa... | |
| The ignorance of SACD & DVD-A marketing idiots.... Bobschneider, thanks for the explanation. I thought that might be the case, but I didn't know it was possible. | |
| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice Well, Davidwjones, I'm listening to Wilson MAXX 2's in my 2-channel, but I can't give up the Snells. I'm still using them in my surround system. The MAXX's are definitely better, but listening to the Snells last night for music, I'm not sure the d... | |
| Change connectors for Transparent Ultra Bi-wire? That's the same experience I had, No_money. | |
| Change connectors for Transparent Ultra Bi-wire? I wouldn't mess with them. I would send them back to Transparent. Transparent is very good with support. | |
| The ignorance of SACD & DVD-A marketing idiots.... Odd they should suddenly put SACD back. Just confirms the illogical Sony marketing. Why now, after they've killed it off? | |
| The ignorance of SACD & DVD-A marketing idiots.... Yes, Unsound . . . SACD was out long before Blu-Ray. Did I misunderstand something? | |
| The ignorance of SACD & DVD-A marketing idiots.... The Sony Blu-Ray player I have that plays SACD is a S580. Cheap and surprisingly good.I'm a bit confused though (what else is new?). I have the player connected to my processor with a digital coax cable only. The processor shows "PCM." This is wit... | |
| The ignorance of SACD & DVD-A marketing idiots.... My Sony Blu-Ray does play SACD, both 2- and multi-channel, though there's nothing in the specs that states that. In the manual, it tells you to go to "Music Settings" and choose it, which I did and played an SACD only disc, no problem.As far as th... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, you just cracked me up. |
